Life Coaching
By Dr. Mike Brooks
Unforgiveness runs rampant in divorces. I counsel people who want to forgive an unfaithful spouse but want to know if they have to be friends with them or reconcile. Forgiveness doesn’t guarantee reconciliation. Many times it’s not possible to fix a broken relationship for various reasons. It might be that the person has passed away or is unable to communicate (dementia, in jail, etc.) Or they have no interest in doing so. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean you have to reconcile with them. Remember, forgiving someone is for you so you can let go and move on with your life. You may forgive someone and their behavior may not change or they don’t care. Remember, letting go of unforgiveness allows you to have peace, joy, happiness and stability back into your life. You will no longer allow the other person to control certain parts of your emotions and hurt you any longer.
